How to get grill off ranger??

[FC3S]

Howdy Im trying to take the front grill off of my 93 ranger splash because its needs to be fixed, i have all the screws off but it seems like its still held on some how near the fenders. There is a bolt on each side but I already got them. Any help would be great.

There are two little tabs that stick up that the grill rest's in that you have to kinda bend it up over, then the two clips into the bottom of the grille. Just bend it up and outwards and it should pop right out.

I almost bought a white 4x4 that looked exactly like that. Wanted more room though, so I went with the one I have now. 2wd.

I like it, there nice little trucks, how hard to convert it to 4x4 if i have a donor truck? donor truck has a shot body on it.

Well if the donor truck's body is shot, how good is the frame etc.? You might be able to just do a body swap.

For Rangers it gets pretty difficult to do the 4x4 swap, I think you have to add or remove a cross member or something.. I'm not sure. Body swaps are much easier.

Are both trucks a Regular Cab/Short Bed combo?

donor truck is a exploder (N), also will the truck clear 31s? or do i need a little lift, sorry im new to the little trucks.

This should help you on tire fitment. I would level it out just to be sure. (spacer under front coil or a new longer coil.)

But as to the 4x4 swap, I'm not good with technical stuff on here. You could try asking in one of the 2wd sections or the 4x4, and also the search bar at the top works well. The three letter minimum makes me angry most of the time though, ha.

Your replacing the header panel, and the grill.....HP has quite a few bolts, and 2 per side behind the fender I believe....
